They haven’t even debuted yet.
On December 27th, JTBCthe survival show, Project 7aired its final episode, revealing the top trainees.
The first seven finalists who made it to the group — Jinxiang, Kenshin, Minwook, Kyoungbae, Seung Ho, YeojunAND Sungmin — will be active for two and a half years and will promote under this name Close your eyes (CTE).
Recently, the pre-debut group had their first arrival at the airport, where things took a scary turn.
On January 2, Close Your Eyes departed Korea, headed to Japan for the 39th Gold Record Award. Initial images from the media show the group outside the airport apparently being driven for their first airport experience.
Once inside, things didn’t seem bad at first, but they took a turn for the worse when fans surrounded the group. The clips show the members unable to move at certain moments while being mobbed and fans were able to make close contact.
the mobbing was actually worse than what we saw.. yeojun and seungho got stuck/couldn’t walk 🙁 this is also just their first appearance at the airport.. oh my god pic.twitter.com/tWDmSNm9jA

At one point, an individual spotted holding back was believed not to be security but rather a fan taking advantage of the situation.
Did you like it because you pretended to be a staff member, hugged the child tightly and satisfied your selfish interests? https://t.co/Gtfbhhx091 pic.twitter.com/rI5lcyA9tx

Did you enjoy pretending to be the staff or security, approaching the child and hugging him to satisfy your personal desires?
– OP
The members appear a little shaken, but unharmed as they leave the public area of the airport. Thankfully, their arrival in Japan seemed to go more smoothly, with the group walking much easier.

Hopefully, the group’s future airport arrivals will be safer for everyone involved.
